MEANS FOR MIXING AND DELIVERING LIQUIDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 730,286, dated June 9, 1903.

Application filed January 2, 1903. $erial No. 137,509. (No model.)

1'0 (tit w/tom it may concern.-

Be it known that l,-LEsLIE; JAMES Mosnn, engineer, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Norfolk House, Laurence 5 Pountney Hill,'in the city OfLOndon, England, have invented a certain new and useful Improved Meansfor. Mixing and Delivering Liquids, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improved means for mixing and delivering liquids, and is especially designed to furnish a machine for delivering aerated beverages flavored with one of a number of syrups or the like, which machine shall be both cheap and of simple construction.

The machine comprises a measuring vessel for aerated water, a delivery-spout, and a valve operated by a lever-arm to admit aerzo ated water to the vessel and to discharge the vessel through the spout. The movement of the lever-arm rocks a shaft in front of a series of measuring-valves for syrups or fiavoringsr Sliding on the shaft is an arm which can be moved by a handle in the front of the machine, so that it comes opposite to and in posit-ion to operate any one of the valves. These valves are in the form of double pistons on a stem covering inlet and outlet ports in a cylinder. A tube fitted, if desired, with a regulating-valve leads from the outlet-port into the delivery-spout. By this means the syrup is delivered during the Whole time the water is flowing, and thus a most intimate mixture is obtained. I

Figure 1 of the drawings is a side elevation, Fig. 2 a front view, and Fig. 3 a part plan, of such an apparatus. Fig. 4. is a side view, to a larger scale, of one of the syrup-measuring valves.

0, is a pipe supplying aerated .water to the valve a, through which it flows in the normal position of the valve-to the vesselb. /Vhen, however, the handle a is pulled over by an 5 attendanlathe valve of, which may be of any suitable construction, cuts off the supply and allows the water in b to flow out by the pipe I) to the spout d.

Fast with the handle 0 is an arm 0, linked by a link 6 to a lever e on the rock-shaft f, supported in bearings f and extending in the projections 71 on the front of the pistons 7t.- the shaft into position to operate the required This arm It can be readily moved along valve by means of a handle 70 "When, therefore, any required beverage is desired, the

.arm in is moved opposite the proper projection 71; and the handle 0 is pulled. This moves the piston h in to close the supply i and allow the syrup contained between the pistons to how down the pipej to the spout d, Where it mingles with the water from the vessel b. As the handlec moves back to its normal position a rock-shaft Z at the rear of the cylinders g and having arms l and rollers Z upon it is rocked by a link m, so as to restore to its forward position Whiehe ver piston h has been operated.

n is an air-valve closed by a ball-float n. 75 An additional air-inlet n closed by the rear piston, may be provided. 7

If desired, regulating-valves omay be provided in the tubes j.

Should aerated water only (without flavor 8o ing) be required,it can be obtained by plac ing the armk between the cylinders g.

What I claim is 1. .The combination of a measuring vessel,

in discharge-pipe, a valve between the pipe and the vessel, a handle operating the valve, a rock-shaft rocked by the handle, an arm on the shaft, and devices operated by the arm for supplying a measured quantity of liquid to the discharge-pipe.

2. The combination of a measuring vessel, a discharge-pipe, a valve between the pipe and the vessel, a handle operating the valve, a rock-shaft rocked by the handle, an arm slidable along the shaft, and a plurality of 5 devices adapted to be operated by' the arm for supplying a measured quantity of liquid to the discharge-pipe.

3. The combination of a measuring vessel, a discharge-pipe, a valve between the pipe ice andthe vessel, a handle operating the valve, a rock-shaft rocked by the handle, an arm on the shaft, an additional measuring vessel, a valve in this vessel operated by the arm, means for supplying liquid to this vessel and a pipe leading from this vessel to the discharge-pipe.

4. The combination of a measuring vessel, a discharge-pipe, a valve between the pipe and the vessel, a handle operating the valve, :1 rock-shaft rocked by the handle, an arm slidable along the shaft, a series of measuring vessels valves in them adapted to be operated by the arm, means for supplying liqmid to these vessels, and a series of pipes leading from them to the discharge-pipe.

5. The combination of a measuring vessel, .a discharge-pipe, a valve between the pipe and the vessel, a handle operating the valve, a rock-shaft rocked by the handle, an arm on the shaft, an additional measuring vessel, a valve in this vessel operated by the arm, means for Supplying liquid to this vessel, a pipe leadingfrom this vessel, to the dischargepipe, and means operated by the handle for restoring the valve in the measuring vessel to its normal position.

6. The combination of a measuring vessel, a discharge-pipe, a valve between the pipe and the vessel, a handle operating the valve, a rock-shaft rocked by the handle, an arm slidable along the shaft, a series of measuring vessels, valves in them adapted to be operated by the arm, means for supplying liquid to these vessels, a series of pipes leading fromthem to the discharge-pipe, and means operatedbythehandle for restoringthe valves to their normal position.

7. The combination of a measuringvessel, a discharge-pipe, a Valve between the pipe and the vessel, a handle operating the valve, a rock-shaft rocked by the handle, an arm slidable alongthe shaft, a series of measuring vessels, valves in them adapted to be operated by the arm, means for supplying liquid to these vessels, a series of pipes leading from them to the discharge-pipe, a second rockshaft rocked by the handle and a series of arms on this rock-shaft engaging the valves and restoring them to their normal position.

8. The combination of a measuring vessel, a discharge-pipe, a valve between the pipe and the vessel, a handle operating the valve, a rock-shaft rocked by the handle, an arm slidable along the shaft, a series of measuring vessels, valves in them adapted to be operated by the arm, means for supplying liquid to these vessels, a series of pipes leading from them to the discharge-pipe and regulating-valves in these pipes.

9. The combination of a measuring vessel, a discharge-pipe, a valve between the pipe and the vessel, a handle operating the valve, a series of measuring vessels, a double pistonvalve in each of these vessels, a pair of rockshafts rocked by the handle, an arm slidable along one of the rook-shafts and adapted to actuate the valves and a series of arms on the other shaft adapted to restore the valves to their normal position.
